Its indeed a bad movie.... My Review (Spoiler)


Alright, i knew from the beginning it was a low budget. I have been renting low budget a lot during the last 5 years, some are decent, some are extremely crap, and some rare one where awesome.

Then the camera choice surprised me...but i was ok with it, even tought it wasen't like blair witch, cloverfield etc where you have a reason to have a view like that, it was a little less shaky and was ok, i could deal with that.

But then, maybe i read wrong the description of the movie, but it said 5 teens ran into some place where the people who live there, The Eyes, as they call them would torture them and it would be a night of horror.

Ok , from now spoiler mode is ON.

First of all, there is only 1 killer...and its a women...when i expected a crazy family or peoples from a village, then we get absolutely NO INFO on the killer, how it is possible to feel something for the character, we don't even have a name, a surname or else? Damn.

Then , nobody dies...what the *beep* of an horror movie is that, ok there is the peoples at the bar and the body in the trunk, but i mean from the cast of girls...

Yeah she beat some pretty bad, but you don't see much and the whole movie felt so stupid, i mean yes she have a gun but how many times they could have kill her. First they saw her get out of the car with the gun, they just stood there instead of running her over, then at some point she dosen't even have bullet left, and they continue being scare and all like stupid bimbo...

When at the end they finally rampage on her, i was like "FINALLY THAT WAS TIME"

Honestly one of the only thing i found interesting was the nude scene with the girl pissing on the clothes, but it would had more impact if it was a male killer, and i was disapointed you don't see anything. That Jamie girl(blonde with the bandana) was really hot at the beginning.

But anyway bottom line is, i watched this drunk at least and it helped me watch the whole thing, i wouldn't put it on my top 5 worst movie, cause i was worse but its definately not a good movie and since what they writed about it on the back cover, how brutual and shocking it was, i tought it would be, and there is not even a kill. On the torture side i was expecting something Hostel style. Girl being chained up, getting tortured, then brutaly kill.

But anyway, another to put on the bad movie list, i think they only thing we can give the director is that with very low budget, he still manage to have blood that look real and scene that where credible.

Personally I'm adding it to my Great movie list. Great example of persevering over budget restraints.

On special effect part it was credible, no doubt about it, but the plot was awefull.
